Russell Hobbs steam glide iron

Advantages: Great value for money, easy to use, quick to iron, nice looking
Disadvantages: a bit heavy

...I bought this Russell Hobbs Steam glide Professional Iron which is styled in a rich purple colour way and boasts 2200 watts of power from Argos for around £21 which is great value for money. I decided to buy this iron because my old iron had stopped working after only just about a year which is my own fault for getting such as really cheap non brand iron at the time. I am not usually all that keen on ironing but since getting this attractive iron from agros I have quite enjoyed ironing as the iron is so nice to the touch and is easy to iron clothes. The fact that it has a ceramic soleplate effortlessly glides over fabrics, cutting down on ironing time. I really like the fact that the iron has a large 350ml large transparent water tank, meaning less time is spent refilling. Featuring variable temperature and steam settings, plus...

My first steam generator iron, Russell Hobbs 13154

Advantages: Light weight iron, long supply of steam
Disadvantages: large size to store, no cord storage, not best instructions

...I was looking for a steam generator iron to replace my normal steam iron by Bosch as that one was falling to bits after only a couple of years use. I also was fed up with constantly needing to stop and refil the water tank during an ironing session. I was looking at more expensive Philips models but I found this one at half price from Comets. There were a number of reviews on the Comet site under Reevoos, and one on this site. Half of the people reviewing said this product was fantastic and the other half had all sorts of problems and said it was awful! Well I bought it anyway. When I began using it I switched it on first then filled the water tank, then read the instructions. That is the wrong way to do things and I found that I should have only fitted the filled tank when the base was unplugged! The instructions also...

Russell Hobbs 2 Slice White toaster

Advantages: deforst, adjustable slots, cancel button
Disadvantages: only 2 slots

...COST: £14.99 PLACE OF PURCHASE: Comet AGE: 6 months COLOUR: White SPECIAL FEATURES: high lift, cancel button, wide slots and 'cool wall' covering Bought from my local comet shop this russel hobbs toaster was a much needed appliance in our house. Since ours came with very little kitchen essentials we had spent over a year cooking our toast under the grill. I know what you're thinking why spend so long before buying a toaster when you can pick one up from Tesco for around a fiver. The fact is we'd never thought we'd really need one and since we won some vouchers for comet we thought we'd splash out on a fancy brand name one. This toaster is pretty basic in fuction, it only holds two slices and works by pressing the lever down, you can adjust the power setting but only works if you set it before you press down the lever as...

RUSSEL HOBBS

Advantages: light, stylish
Disadvantages: more or less everything else

...Russel Hobbs are often extremely well made and durable appliances however this is not the case with this product. I'll admit that this iron looks extremely stylish and well made, however it isnt. I personally dont own this product but I bought one for a Christmas present for my friend as a joke and she has being ranting on about it ever since. It has a dial which adjusts the heat for a variety of different textures of clothes such as silk, cotton and that material on sports wear. However no matter what heat setting it is on it still seems far too hot for the material. My friend has said that she has burnt more clothes that not with this iron. However the cord is extremely long which I suppose is an advantage (4metres) It doesnt though have a steam shoot which I thought was standard for any iron nowadays. Oh how I was wrong. It is though...

Get into hot water with style - Russell Hobbs Stylis Kettle

Advantages: Hot water and fast!
Disadvantages: Measly power cord 0.75 m length

...The Russell Hobbs 14590 Stylis kettle is cordless and takes its power from a circular base that allows the kettle to face in any position in a 360 plain allowing it to be arranged on even a flat and level work surface suitably-oriented for either left, right or even mixed-handed households. The base comes with a 0.75 metre mains cable which restricts where you can place the kettle but satisfies the safety aspect of reducing the chance of catching trialling cables for electrically-operated appliances especially those that can contain up to 1.7 litres of boiling water. The kettle has an open handle that gives the kettle quite a good balanced feel even when full of boiling water. The spout is both accurate for pouring measured amounts exactly where you want them and non-drip when you return to the base. The water is delivered through...

Review of Russell Hobbs 14590

Russell Hobbs

Advantages: Large Stainless Steel Plate, Vertical Steaming, Powerful Bust of Steam
Disadvantages: None that I can find

...I go through Irons at a rapid pace of knots and this one so far is standing up to the challenge. This has got to be the best Iron I have owned to date. It has a cushioned hand grip, making it comfortable to use even after an hour of ironing. The spray and steam buttons are quite large and the water inlet hole is big enough that you don't keep spilling any. The temperature control dial is large enough and shows in detail what setting you are in so as not to singe even the delicatest of clothes. You can Iron as you normally would with steam or even dry iron with this one, you can even hold the iron up right and steam vertically, great if you need to get the creases out of curtains and can't be bothered standing to iron them (a little like dry cleaning, i suppose) It has a stainless steel plate and glides across clothes really easily...

Russell Hobbs 9379 - Good Value

Advantages: Seems to do what it claims! Good looks, Robust
Disadvantages: None so far..

...Sick and fed up of getting burnt toast every morning, we decided it was time to get a more modern toaster. After much deliberation, we decided on a Russell Hobbs/Classic Satin Toastec?, 4 slice toaster, model number 9379. (Have included the model number, as there are other near identical toasters with different number). The "New Rapid Toastec? System that crisps bread rapidly on the outside, while keeping is moist in the centre" is what the blurb said and this is what attracted us. And fair enough, it seems to live up to that claim. The looks of the machine are quite good and reminds me of professional toasters one often sees in eating establishments (cafes if your not posh). It is made out of stainless steel and looks good on the kitchen worktop and is robust. The controls are set our along the base? There are two browning...

Russell Hobbs 4461 - spare parts

Advantages: Does a decent job of making a range of breads
Disadvantages: Spare parts policy is not customer/environment focussed

...The Russell Hobbs 4461 'does what it says on the tin' ie you can make a range of loaves with the minimal fuss that you would expect from a breadmaker. What you might like to know as a potential purchaser is 'can I get spares if it goes wrong'? If you want a new paddle (the bit that kneads the dough), no problem. If you need a new baking tin, again no problem. I need a new seal for the shaft at the bottom of the loaf tin. Just a small rubber o-ring seal, value a few pence. However, the spares outlet (Salton, the parent company of Russell Hobbs) will only sell a complete loaf tin (cost £17). I have pointed out to them how customer unfriendly this is not to mention the environmental damage of making a new metal loaf tin to get the use of a small rubber seal but they simply repeat that they 'unfortunately' only sell the loaf tin...

Review of Russell Hobbs 4461

Russell Hobbs does the job

Advantages: Stainless steel, very attractive, strong
Disadvantages: The water level indicator isn't in full view - not that much of a problem though

...I have only recently purchased this kettle and i think it is one of the best kettles we have had. Russell Hobbs combines traditional styling with high tech performance in its classic range of stainless steel small appliances. I had been on the look out for a good new kettle at a reasonable price as we were in need of a new one, and my husband had recently redecorated our kitchen, so i wanted something that would fit in with our kitchen decor and also do a good job. My sister has had this kettle for a while now, and she recommended it to me, so i thought i would give it a try as Russell Hobbs is a well known brand. First of all the packaging was very secure and there was no chance of the kettle inside being damaged, everything was packed in with cardboard and bubble wrap. Inside the box was the kettle, the power base...
